A Whole Lotta Nada

I really don't have a whole lot to say today. I am dumbstruck by the things getupgrrl has had revealed to her this week. Makes everything I am going through seem very trivial. I am wishing you a lot of emotional healing, a lot of peace and a lot of love, grrl.

So instead of my usual banter, here is another drink recipe:

White Russian Alexander

1 oz Vodka
1 oz Kahlua
Double Splash Brandy
Splash Marischino cherry juice (from the cherry jar)
Half & Half creamer to taste (I like the finished color to be the shade of "Halle Berry". If you get "Jessica Simpson", you've added too much H&H--add more Kahlua.)

Pour ingredients over ice, in order above and stir. Top with whipped cream and a cherry if you are feeling cheeky. You may ask yourself, "Why half & half?" Because it tastes better, a bit sweeter, than milk, dear friend. But use milk if you have nothing else.

Alternately, cut out the brandy for a pure White Russian.

I have been thinking of you. Wonder how you are doing emotionally. I know that get back up on the horse again stuff isn't always easy. Especially when you don't know what kind of horse you are dealing with. I am glad to see you seem to be persevearing, or at least bartendering.

I think there is something in everyone's life that when we hear about it, we say "God I could never live through that." I think when you are in it, you know how to function better than those outside it do. I think its wonderful to have the ability to think someone else's pain is greater than our own. Its what makes us human. You and grrl have proven yourselves to be amazing women, somedays just getting up in the morning is amazing. I will rejoice the day you both become mothers, no matter how it happens.
